The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science – A Wildly Funny, #1 New York Times Bestselling Middle Grade Adventure
Step into the wonderfully weird world of The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science, the hilarious and high-energy #1 New York Times bestseller from Saturday Night Live legend Kate McKinnon. This madcap middle grade debut blends science, sisterhood, and pure chaos in an unforgettable story that’s perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Lemony Snicket.
Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch don’t quite fit in—not in their perfectly proper town of Antiquarium, not in their brooch-loving adoptive family, and definitely not in the world of prim-and-polished etiquette schools. After getting kicked out of yet another finishing academy, the sisters receive an unexpected invitation to a very different kind of school...
Welcome to The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science, where pizza might be deadly, the faculty includes a hermit crab, and mad science is a way of life. Under the guidance of the eccentric and brilliant Millicent Quibb, the Porch sisters discover the power of embracing their quirks—and their genius.
But when an evil cabal of rogue scientists threatens their town, it’s up to the girls to put their brilliant (and chaotic) minds to the test. Can they harness their inner mad scientists and save the day before everything explodes—literally?
⚗️ Packed with zany inventions, laugh-out-loud moments, and heartwarming themes of identity and self-acceptance, this middle grade romp is unlike anything you’ve read before. Perfect for curious minds and budding experimenters!
